Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq summoned by Pakistan’s cyber crime agency over phone data

Pakistan ki cybercrime authority ne wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan aur opener Imam-ul-Haq ko formal summons bhej diye hain. Yeh action team ke England Test tour ke dauran collect kiye gaye phone data ki inquiry ka ek hissa hai. National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) ne ek teesre cricketer ko bhi summon kiya hai, jiski identity ko abhi public nahi kiya gaya hai. Yeh khabar September 10, 2026 ko samne aayi hai.

NCCIA Federal Ministry of Interior ke under kaam karti hai. Is ministry ko filhal Mohsin Naqvi head kar rahe hain, jo ki iske sath-sath PCB ke chairman ki position bhi sambhal rahe hain. Unka yeh dual role is investigation ko ek bada institutional twist deta hai.

Summons tak pahunche in events ka silsila Lord’s Test ke baad shuru hua tha. Is match ke baad PCB ke security officers ne Rizwan aur Imam-ul-Haq dono ke mobile phones ko seize kar liya tha, aur un devices se nikale gaye data ko baad mein relevant authorities ko somp diya gaya tha.

England series ke dauran Pakistan squad ke sath kya hua tha?

Pakistan ki England ke khilaf teen matches ki Test series 2-0 ki shikast ke sath khatam hui thi, jisme doosri haar Lord’s mein mili thi. Is tour par kharab form aur off-field issues ke chalte kafi problems rahi, jiski wajah se board aur team management ko turant action lena pada.

Imam ko doosre Test ke pehle din fielding ke dauran calf injury ho gayi thi aur woh match mein batting nahi kar sake the. Rizwan ne bhi us game ki dono innings milakar sirf aath runs ka contribution diya tha. Dono players ko series khatam hone se pehle hi ghar bhej diya gaya tha, aur sath hi paanch aur squad members ko bhi withdraw kar liya gaya tha. Coaching staff bhi is fallout se nahi bach saka, jahan head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed aur bowling coach Umar Gul dono ko hi is tour ke baad dismiss kar diya gaya.

‘Pakistan Cricket Board ne discipline aur conduct ko lekar media reports aane ke baad ek internal disciplinary inquiry shuru kar di hai, jise filhal internally review kiya ja raha hai,’ Amir Mir, jo ki PCB ke Director Media & Digital Communications hain, ne social media par ek statement mein kaha.

PCB ne confirm kiya hai ki unhone England tour ke dauran samne aaye conduct aur discipline issues ki media reports ke baad ek internal disciplinary inquiry shuru kar di hai.

Is inquiry par PCB ka official stand kya hai?

Board ne is situation ko acknowledge kiya hai, lekin allegations ya apni internal review ki findings ke baare mein koi specific details share nahi ki hain. PCB ke Director Media and Digital Communications, Amir Mir, ne ek formal statement mein board ke stand ko clear kiya hai.

‘PCB aise mamlo ko apne standard procedures ke mutabik handle karta hai. Yeh process PCB regulations ke tehat chalaya ja raha hai, jisme yeh ensure kiya ja raha hai ki sabhi concerned logo ko poora mauka mile… PCB is waqt is par aur koi comment nahi karega. Board stakeholders aur public ko advise karta hai ki woh sirf official PCB communications par hi rely karein,’ Mir ne aage kaha.

Is stage par abhi kayi important details confirm hona baki hain, jaise ki NCCIA dwara summon kiye gaye teesre cricketer ki identity, review kiye ja rahe phone data ki sahi nature, agency ki inquiry ki timeline, aur kya PCB ke internal process ke baad koi formal charges lagaye jayenge.
